Session 2 Art Club BIG Drawing

Really BIG Drawing.

Session 2 Afternoon Session 2-4pm
Age 13-16 years

This fun session kicks off with a fun bilateral drawing exercise to warm up. Then each artist is given very large pieces of paper allowing you the freedom to choose from an array of drawing materials and sketch, doodle and draw to your hearts content. The aim is not perfection but BIG expansive drawing - we can use the floor and walls.
Experiment with felt tips, pastels and pencils.
You are welcome to make a piece with a friend. We will offer creative prompts and exercises - but it is your time to be creative !
Your large artworks can be rolled and tied to take home.

Please bring an apron or painting shirt to protect your clothing.
(If you don't have one, I will have some available !)
Please bring a water bottle for the morning.

Do email us with any queries at: [email protected]

Some parking is available outside Fairy Croft House, in the market square, or the Common Car park or Swan Meadow carpark are a few minutes walk away.
